If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.
Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

I so fuckin' want one. I do. I want to set up huge automated anti-mosquito arrays on my back porch, and sit outside smoking cigars watching the little bloodsuckers die.
Heh. How come nobody makes mosquito snuff porn? "Shake that mosquito! Shake that mosquito, baby!"

heh. I just read about those guys, Intellectual Ventures, in the book Superfreakanomics. Not only have they figured out how to hunt skeeters, but they have invented a way to reverse global warming in 3 years with as little as 3 billion dollars or so.
Pretty interesting group of folks. And check that book out if you're into digging into topics from odd angles...

Sure, but think of it this way:
1) You actually deal with mosquitoes on a much more regular basis, and so they're more an actual annoyance than a real one. Easier to hate mosquitoes.
2) Bears are way closer to us on the food chain -- it's easy to pretend that the mosquitoes aren't really "critters," that they're somehow mobile vampiric plants.
A dead bear just reminds us that we're mortal.
3) I read somewhere (and it sounds quite reasonable) that mosquitoes have killed more humans than all the wars on earth via malaria and blood-borne diseases.
So fuck mosquitoes. With fire.

Is there an upside to mosquitoes or those other hated vermin ticks?
Do they do any good or just serve as highly efficient pathogen transfer units?
Around here we have Lyme Disease carried by ticks, and I know two people that had had their lives changed drastically due to Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Granted these are all tick carried.
West Nile is showing up more often here in middle America, so the mosquitoes have to go as well.
Jeager, let me know when you get yours done, I want one too!
Ames, thanks for the reminder. Need to drag that one out and make the kids watch it.
